<P class=body><SPAN class=body1><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=body><SPAN class=body1><FONT face=Arial size=2>These are the terms of use that every member using interactive areas of this site agrees to adhere to. This would include chat rooms, message boards and other interactive areas such as multimedia and contests. </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=body><FONT face=Arial size=2>Communicating in a chat room or on message boards is different from face-to-face communication. Only the words are seen, not your facial expressions or tone of voice. Please pay careful attention to how you use your words.</FONT></P>
<P class=body><FONT face=Arial size=2>Remember that the words you enter in a burst of passion or indignant anger will be there for you and everyone else to see, sometimes long after those intense feelings have passed. That's not meant to discourage spontaneity, but just a friendly reminder of the long-term existence and effects of what you post.</FONT></P>
<P class=body><FONT face=Arial size=2>You may, from time to time, find yourself in disagreement with someone else's opinion. At times like these, please keep in mind it's safer and more polite to take issue with the comments rather than the person.</FONT></P>
